Accessibility at Gotham Hall

We believe every guest should be able to experience Gotham Hall comfortably, clearly, and confidently.

Our Commitment

An inclusive digital experience.

Gotham Hall is committed to providing a welcoming digital experience for all visitors, including guests with visual, motor, auditory, or cognitive accessibility needs.

Our website includes a custom accessibility experience designed to help you personalize how content is viewed and interacted with across devices.

Using the Tools

Personalize your viewing experience.

Look for the gold accessibility crest in the lower-right corner of every page. One click opens a concierge-style panel with quick modes and individual settings — your choices are remembered on your device.

Within the panel, use the plus and minus buttons to adjust stepped settings like Reading Size, Line Height, Text Spacing, Text Alignment, Focus Cursor, and Saturation. Toggle switches turn features on or off instantly. You can mix and match any combination, or apply a Quick Mode preset and then fine-tune individual settings on top of it.

Individual Settings

  • Saturation

    Adjusts the intensity of colors site-wide — choose low saturation for a muted palette, high for vivid tones, or grayscale for monochrome viewing.

    Helps with
    Color sensitivityVisual comfort

A note on our cinematic design — some accessibility settings reduce animation, lighting effects, or media presentation in order to improve readability and navigation comfort. This is intentional, not a fault of the site.

Keyboard Navigation

Designed for assistive technology.

Gotham Hall’s website is designed to support keyboard navigation and assistive technologies where possible.

  • Use Tab and Shift + Tab to move between interactive elements.
  • Press Enter or Space to activate buttons and links.
  • Use the arrow keys to adjust accessibility settings inside the panel.
  • Press Esc to close menus and dialogs.
  • Focus rings are styled in gold so they remain visible against our dark theme.
Ongoing Improvements

A continuous effort.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We continue to refine the usability and accessibility of our digital experiences over time, guided by WCAG 2.1 AA best practices and feedback from our guests.
